“Every item of apparel that they’re wearing that has an American flag on it: shirt, shorts, bikini, hat, technically is in violation of the flag code,” one expert on the U.S. flag said.
Although Nike has recalled its “Betsy Ross” American flag sneakers, shoppers looking for flag-adorned clothing in stores will have plenty of other options, even though the popular trend is technically illegal.
But Nike’s idea for a flag-adorned shoe is very much on trend: Consumers like classic apparel that can be worn for a long time, and clothing with the flag or its colors fits the description of a timeless look. Last week, Gap-owned Old Navy unveiled a collection of purple T-shirts with a flag across the front. The color of the shirts is a blend of blue and red, meant to symbolize unity between the country’s political parties. It’s also a nod to the flag tees that Old Navy sold when it was first founded 25 years ago.
